I must be missing something here, when others have rated this 4stars. The smell when the tin was opened reminded me of days spent in England working like slaves in the hayfields. It has, for me, nothing to commend it. No nuances of taste, and if this should contain latakia my tin had obviously dodged the gnome that should have put some in. The aftertaste was as though I had chain-smoked 100 capstan full-strength cigarettes, including the bottom of a parrots cage. As a more senior person, I am not made of money, and having bought this phoney I feel compelled to suffer it to the bottom of the tin.
I have yet to try a Scandinavian tobacco that I enjoy. The more I try, the less likely that will be.
With cigars, the cigar connoisseurs talk about " ..a fag smokers cigar." This is the pipe smokers' equivalent.
I have been reduced to having to buy St.Bruno to mix this with to make it the slightest bit smokeable. Yeuch !!
Add to "room note" this smell made my wife retch and head for the door.

Very similar to the dreaded Accoutants mixture from Rattrays. Its got real wallop. But lacks subtlelty and finesse. Not a patch on Odessey from Mr. Pease.

Is quite young pipe smoker I found this one just a bit overpowering all round. The tobbaco ozes quality. Rich smokeyness with a good dose of Latakia and some sweet notes. However this is not a smoke for somone of my age and tasts... though definataly one to try 5-10 years down the line.
